The Finance Lab in Oxford A new approach to education and networking for University of Oxford students About the Finance Lab The Finance Lab is a joint venture between the Private Equity Institute and Oxford Saïd. The Lab, which was founded and is offered by Andreas T. Angelopoulos, Executive Director, Oxford Private Equity Institute, is an extracurricular 150 hour programme for University of Oxford’s graduate and undergraduate students looking to progress their careers in investment banking, private equity and asset management, complementing the University’s programmes of academic excellence. The Finance Lab connects theory with practice through a series of practical finance theory seminars, modelling workshops, real -life case studies offered by leading banks and funds, challenges sponsored by Bridgepoint in Private Equity, Rothschild in Global Advisory, Hermes in Private Markets, Oxford Chicago Global Private Equity Challenge, and HR networking events linked with Careers in Finance. The Finance Lab is an educational offering bridging the gap between university offering and industry requirements, where employers want students with metacognitive and specific theoretical and technical skills (oral communication, problem solving in diverse areas, effective interaction with peers in a group context, specialized applied analytical, presentation and modelling skills) rather than just subject-area understanding and complex advanced theoretical or mathematical concepts. © Andreas T. Angelopoulos 2

Testimonies Oxford Saïd MBA MFE MLF graduate students The Lab was a turnkey opportunity to learn and put to practice the finance modelling and presentation skills required in the industry while also providing an amazing networking opportunity with top tier firms. I can truly say that this was a unique educational and networking experience for me joining management consulting and I am looking forward to leverage these skills and network with my firm, clients and during any interfaces with the PE industry in the future. Daniel Schacter Oxford Saïd MBA ‘ 16 joining Mc. Kinsey The Finance Lab is a unique opportunity to delve into the practical world of private equity and investment banking. It not only gave me a great sense of the execution skills required and cases done by elite firms but it also provided a new form of networking that was highly beneficial for my career choice. What I enjoyed more and found unique was the chance to have actual conversations around technical topics with senior industry professionals and alumni, on a personal level. Nicolas Hartmann Oxford Saïd MFE ‘ 16 joining Blackstone The Finance Lab is a truly rewarding programme that connects students with some of the most esteemed names in high finance. Such a program that offers partner-level professionals from banks and funds leading case studies on a weekly basis is a truly unprecedented experience. Cocktail networking events that follow each case study is yet another unique opportunity to build one's network and gain one-on-one exposure to these senior professional on top of the solid financial modelling classroom experience that the Finance Lab offers.

Testimonies University of Oxford undergraduate students As an undergraduate studying Modern Languages, there were, at first, very few resources available in Oxford to help me gain a real, robust understanding of the technical skills needed to succeed in investment banking. FL not only provided this, but also direct exposure to world-class practitioners, with decades of industry experience. I have no doubt that FL alumni, when looking back at their time in Oxford, will appreciate just how fortunate they were to gain such rigorous training and direct exposure at the very beginning of their career. Charlie Bogard Exeter College, University of Oxford M&A Analyst, Rothschild The Lab allows undergraduates the chance to hone their technical skills, and build their network of industry professionals further. This is an unprecedented opportunity, in the way it brings together a theoretical, practical and networking based approach - and a very influential scheme in the Oxford academic finance training and careers landscape. Rohan Arora New College, University of Oxford Joining Evercore The Lab has provided undergraduates with a unique opportunity to prepare for internship and full time roles, through both advanced technical skills and networking with the most prestigious banks and funds. There is nothing comparable in Oxford - this is a powerful tool for the Oxford students complementing and reinforcing our strong academic background.
